ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Comcast announced today that it will hire 56 new employees throughout New Mexico in the next few months to meet the ever-growing demand for its products and services. To date, Comcast has hired employees for 88 new positions in the State in 2007 -- more than a 165% increase from last year at this time.
Comcast continues to offer entertainment and communications products and services that customers want, such as high-speed Internet, digital cable with video on demand, digital video recorders and high-definition programming. Later this year, Comcast will launch Comcast Digital Voice, which will offer customers digital-quality phone service with unlimited direct-dial local and domestic long-distance calling, Web access to voicemail, E911 service and numerous popular calling features.
"We are looking for employees who enjoy interacting with people, love technology, thrive in a fast-paced environment and want a career with real growth potential," said Scott Westerman, Comcast Southwest Area Vice President. "These new employees will join an already strong, customer-focused team that is bringing advanced entertainment and communications products to residents of New Mexico area, everyday."
"New Mexico continues to attract high-wage, high-skill jobs," said New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. "This expansion by Comcast is more proof that we are a State on the move."
How to Apply:
Comcast expects to fill these 56 positions within the next few months. Nearly all New Mexico Comcast locations will be adding employees. The majority of available jobs are for front-line technicians and customer care representatives, with the rest crossing the broad categories of engineering and sales.

Comcast Benefits Package:
Comcast offers employees extensive career-path options, competitive pay, medical, dental and prescription benefits, in addition to free and discounted Comcast services.
This job growth comes as Comcast continues to enhance its products. For example, Comcast has nearly doubled the amount of ON DEMAND programming available in the past two years as well as adding more than 100 hours of HD VOD programming each month. The company also has increased Comcast High-Speed Internet speeds four times in two years.
